Me

I'm a 4/5/6/7th semester BSD student. I transferred in after completing CTY. Since the programs are similar yet different, I'm taking courses from all over the cirriculum.

In my spare time (what little there is), I pursue a myrid of hobbies in a very Jack-of-all-Trades manner. I read, write, play the guitar, and cook. My first short story was published earlier this year in the anthology Mythspring

I also run a yard haunt in Newmarket. Pictures from 2004, and some from 2005, are posted on the haunt's site.

Assignment 1

I'd like to figure out how to do that "quote from another article" thing I always see on Wikipedia, where it says "from main article XXX: (text)", so I can snip a part of my A1.

In any case, read up on my trouble filled but ultimately sucessful build.

Assignment 2

(Here will be the From Main Article clip of why I chose Assignment 2)

My project: "Avoid_loading_the_same_page_twice"_Extension

Newsgroup Summaries

I'm doing the summary of the newsgroup mozilla.dev.platform

I've created this template to make the creation of each week's page a bit easier. It is based on Deb Richardson's templates, but are more generalized. They have no data, just "insert stuff here" marks.

Open Source Symposium

Did you know that it's taking place on the Friday before my birthday? Yay, me.

What I Learned

  • Open source isn't just done In The Basement. There are people who have made real, viable careers from open source. They've partnered with large corporations. They've made advertising revenue. They've used OS as a way to showcase themselves, which have lead to "real jobs".
